What I liked

I love the atmosphere. My job entails working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses. Being able to build a relationship with these children while providing care and teaching skills that will help them gain knowledge and independence has been incredibly fulfilling.

What I wish was different

I wish I could work more during school, but I really appreciate the ability to work part-time while in school. They are super accommodating to student schedules.

Advice

Ask questions! There is a lot of information at the beginning of the job, including 40+ hours of virtual training, but it is all helpful information. When you first get on the job and start working with the kids and running programs, it can be intimidating. However, the staff wants you to succeed and asking questions is the best way to get better at your job and provide the best care possible.
